With production dating back to 2004, the Acura TSX made a name for itself as a sleek and well-appointed sedan—right up until it was replaced by the slightly larger TLX model for 2015. The TSX is a compact luxury sedan with seating for up to five people, plus a spacious 14-cubic-foot trunk. Under the hood, the TSX features a standard 2.4L four-cylinder engine, although a brawnier 3.5L V6 at 280 hp is optional.
If you're shopping for a comfortable executive sedan that's compact enough for easy handling and maneuverability, the Acura TSX is worth a look. In its 2014 model year, the TSX is even equipped with such standard features as leather upholstery, a sunroof, and heated front seats for added comfort.

I Absolutely LOVE this car! I've had this car for over 10 months now and I would not change a single thing. This car combines quality with sport and style. The navigation system is an absolute must, I can't recall how many times its save me from getting lost or finding another way home through traffic jams. Also I travel alot between Virginia, & North & South Carolina and the comfort of this car through long trips is amazing. I owned the Acura RSX for several years then traded it in for a Mercedes c350. After owning the benz for a while it got pretty expensive so I traded it in for my Acura TSX because I was very impressed with the quality, value, and style that only acura provides and I've never been happier with my car! Acura certainly knows how to encourage and keep customers for life with their awesome cars! I'm pretty sure my next car will definetly be another acura!
This is a good front wheel drive compact sports sedan that handles well and has an economical engine that can hustle when you want to kick it up a few notches. While premium fuel is recommended, it can also take regular gas, with a minor performance loss. The trunk is decent for its class, but the back seats are going to be a snug ride for most adults.
